Everybody needs a John

I came home from teaching yesterday afternoon (Sunday) and my wonderful husband has been busy again.

I love to have my machine set down in my large table in my quilting room. (ex formal lounge room) Well I have just received the latest Bernina 710 machine and as always John quickly got to work and cut out a larger space in the table and made a box for the machine to drop into.
PERFECT ,
no drag on piecing , or my quilts. This helps your quilting and your shoulders so much.....

This time I asked him to leave the extension table on the machine as it is a lovely smooth surface.
The machine simply just lifts straight out. Ill put a small table on my right hand side for pins scissors etc and he next will make a extension table that will be attached to the table on my left hand side to support any large quilt.

I cant stress how important it is to set your self up well and comfortably if you are quilting large quilts.

The original table top was taken off , then a piece of ply wood 4 x 8 foot was attached and glossed. At very little expense.
The Bernina 440 has a hole and now the 710.

Please excuse this personal photo I never post personnel stuff except this time I want to publically acknowledge John

Hi Leeanne, i am absolutly thrilled with the 710.The extra space is so great to have, lighting excellent, fast speed , i gave it a big test last week 80 wt fine thread top and bobbin ( which is huge) and appliqued and free motioned quilted fast really fast and it didnt skip a bet. The memory capability is so easy and actually everthing i have asked for in a machine. I like to work on one machine only not a quilting machine and a piecing machine etc... one machine that we know each other extreemly well, and over a few days we are great friends now. The 440 will has earned a well earned rest for a while. In two words LOVE it...:)
